The gun can only be found in shipwrecks along with its generic ammo, railgun sabots Sabots can be bought from military and city outposts though with a difficulty of atleast 30

I tried to balance the gun so that the sabot wont instantly kill a person to a body shot because some crew members love to run infront of people when shooting. Youll have atleast a few seconds before they slowly bleed out though to give them copious amounts of morphine :) Except for SAPHEI ammo, that will instantly kill a person as demonstated in the video and has a larger blast radius (about the same as a 40mm grenade) thatll shred almost anything around it. Its a good idea to wear something prefferably with burn resistance like a PUCS and you can put your drugs in it so that you can be doped up as you conemplate what went wrong! Technically the normal sabot has a very tiny explosion radius so that itll actually do damage to creatures whose limbs get in the way of clear shots (cough cough, husks, cough). This means that you can kill yourself if you shoot an enemy in kissing distance but by then you hopefully switched to a different weapon lol

Despite the thumbnails I did spend a lot of time tuning its balance and Ill probably make changes if need be Enjoy your murder :)
